About Me

I travel, write, photo, experience, learn. I’m a wanderlust addict and prefer the window seat — be it on a plane or in the R-Pod. Relocated to Raleigh in 2016 after nine years in Seattle, but still a Detroiter at heart. Next destination: wherever.

We’ve changed this thing so many times, I’m about to add RV toilet plumber to our resumes under “special skills.”

And the kicker? We did this exact same repair in this exact same campground—two years ago. Same weekend. Same busted valve.

Baby loves bluegrass, so obviously we had to take Baby loves bluegrass, so obviously we had to take her to see @WilsonSpringsHotel this past weekend in downtown Raleigh. She danced and clapped like she owned the place. 

If you're visiting Downtown Raleigh, check the downtown events schedule because I feel like there's a fun event every weekend -- often with live music.

At the beginning of this year I made a pledge to m At the beginning of this year I made a pledge to myself to do one thing for "me." Writing has always been my outlet and I have a lot of random knowledge in a niche I never expected to have...
